The vice-captain contributed a meaty prey to each bonfire.It is said that he and his guards found it in the jungle not far away.It is a vibrant emerald color, fresh and cool, with streams rushing between the white rocks, in this boundless wilderness it is like heaven and earth.

People were full of food and drink, hooked their shoulders and cheered until late at night, and most of the tents had already sounded long snoring.

The good old men who cleaned up the mess stomped out the black charcoal that was still glowing red, and the pickpockets mixed in the team slipped into the tent following the sound of the wind, and reached out to touch the money bag that the warrior threw on the ground.

Joining the team are not only brave men who are determined to slay demons and become famous, but also ghosts and monsters with ulterior motives.

These five big and three rough rough guys have a lot of money, and they are the easiest to lose their treasures.

The thief who returned with a full load threw the money bag and walked out of the tent with a smile on his face, but suddenly he noticed a bunch of eyes that seemed to glance over him.

He shivered, and looked at that gaze.

Dark clouds blocked the stars and the moon. Under the dim moonlight, a young man was sitting on a rock with a thin figure leaning on his side.The man was covered with a thick and warm blanket, and leaned intimately against the young man's shoulder. Under the cloak, only a section of white and jade-like nose was exposed, and his face could not be seen clearly.

The young man's appearance is rather handsome. Among this group of strong men with well-developed limbs and simple minds, there is a sense of disobedience.His face was cold and pale, as if the earl who loves blood is used to avoiding the sun, and only hangs his head and whispers with ghosts in the middle of the night when no one talks.

The thief looked over from a distance, and through the thin, pungent night mist, he seemed to see a small blade in the young man's bony hands.

The young man looked indifferent, and his bottomless eyes hid the madness that melted into the night.He pressed the blade to the cheek of the sleeping man, and rubbed it together for a while as if nostalgic.

The thief stared at him blankly, only feeling that the cold blade seemed to be swimming across his face, and shivered sharply.

Lin Pei heard the movement, and moved his gentle and suppressed gaze away from the boy's sleeping face.

The murderous eyes pierced through the mist, piercing the heart of the peeper like a knife.

roll.

The thief recognized the word from the mouth shape of the young man, fell to the ground in fright, turned his head and limbs, and ran away.

Ni Zijiao, who was curled up in Lin Pei's arms, flinched subconsciously. Lin Pei followed his hair, and when the boy's brows relaxed, he picked him up and walked into the tent under the moon.

Just as he disappeared, another person hurried out from the tent in the deserted wilderness.

The young mercenary danced for everyone all night, and at this time he was fully awake.He bowed his waist and looked around in a panic, his almost twisted legs were shaking non-stop.

He was picked up by two comrades who knew each other and thrown into a separate tent.He opened his eyes and saw only the dusty top of the tent.

The mercenary was panting heavily, cold sweat condensed on his back.

—He saw it, that.

—He was sure it wasn't an illusion.

——The deer that was dead and stopped breathing, before being divided into pieces by the deputy captain and skewered on the grill...

He blinked at him, as if calling for help.

The feeling of extreme cold crawled slowly upward from his tailbone, and when it reached his neck, he shivered.A urge to urinate jolted his brain awake.

He shivered up from the ground and got out of the tent.

A night bat flew across the sky and uttered a mournful cry, and the unruly wind in the wild passed through the dead branches and began to sing in the night.

He found a huge rock, untied his belt tremblingly, and started to relieve his hands. He heard the sound of running water washing over the rock not far away, soft and light, like a song leading to heaven.

The mercenary breathed a sigh of relief, and then, at that moment, fear nailed his back.

wrong!

He had gone to explore the vicinity before, except for a few crooked neck trees and weed scorpions, there was nothing, how could there be water?

The young man's eyelids twitched.He tried hard to recall, trying to find some reassuring fragments in his memory.

Oh, oh, yes, it should be the oasis that the vice-captain mentioned.

Even if he was blind and didn't notice it!It's not surprising that there are things like Xanadu in such a remote place!

I don't know if it's because of the cold weather or fear, the mercenary's lips turned purple.He hypnotized himself like this, and suddenly his eyes turned red.

I don't know when, the sky brightened up, even though it was still midnight, and the dark clouds rolled in the sky, but everything was clearly visible.A blood-colored effusion sprang up on the ground. The surface of the gorgeous red liquid was as slippery as silk, and something was wriggling in the depths, spitting out bubbles.

Soon, the mercenary realized that the shuddering red color did not come from the liquid itself, but from above.

He looked up to the sky.

A huge blood moon hangs in the sky.It radiated a gentle and eerie light, so close to the ground that the mercenaries could even see its face made of raised circular grooves.

After seeing it clearly, he took a deep breath.

It was not any face deliberately fabricated with horror factors, but a delicate and perfect cheek that surpassed human cognition. It turned its empty eyes and smiled compassionately at the bewildered human standing on the ground, revealing Clean, fine and regular teeth.

The mercenary was lost in that dazzling and eternal smiling face, and heard the ancient and long wave rolling from the distant mountains.

In this dead night, something transparent suddenly shattered and drifted away from the mercenary's body, but he didn't feel it. He strode his legs and walked through the endless river of blood, step by step towards the sound of the waves. Where it comes from.

There, the distraught stars showed their feet.On a lonely moonlit night, the majestic castle stands like a ghost, and the wizard's low voice is like a ballad.

Early the next morning, the sound of the horn woke everyone up from their dreams.

When Ni Zijiao woke up, Lin Pei had been out for a long time.The crowd's dispute came from outside the tent.He walked outside while putting on his clothes. Under the dazzling sunlight, everyone gathered together.

[You are woken up by harsh noise. 】

[Wizards have sensitive eyes and ears, you don't need to ask, you can know what these tiny ants are talking about. 】

[They found that some of their companions who were drinking and talking together last night and sleeping together in the same bed had disappeared at this time. 】

【"This kind of ghost place where the birds don't shit, where can the living people go?"】

【Anxiety enveloped the crowd, and they reported the incident to their respective team leaders.There are more than [-] missing persons added together.But the captain didn't find it strange when he saw the list. 】

[Since the first day of the establishment of the Northern Army, there have been indecisive warriors who retreated midway. 】

["Nothing strange, but weak-willed cowards," he thought. 】

Wearing Lin Pei's cloak, Ni Zijiao stood on a high mound and looked around. After a while, he saw the young man leading the horse.

Where the mound meets the ground in front is a nearly vertical drop. Ni Zijiao jumped from a high place and landed right in front of Lin Pei.

【...However, you miscalculated the physique of a wizard living alone, and unfortunately sprained your ankle. 】

At the same time as the reminder sounded, Ni Zijiao felt a stabbing pain in his ankle, leaned back, simply sat down, took a perfunctory breath, and cried out the pain.

Lin Pei saw that Ni Zijiao's face was turning blue and his eyebrows were knit together, but he was still looking around excitedly, so he knelt down helplessly, took off his boots and rubbed his feet.

"He's a god anyway, pay attention to his image."

Ni Zijiao didn't take it seriously.

If you put on airs, you won't be called the main god.

Lord Lord God rubbed his hands, like a cat seeing a fish, his eyes were bright: "Go to collect information?"

"Counting the mercenary who danced yesterday, 24 people have disappeared. Never before have so many people escaped." Lin Pei paused for a moment, looking at Ni Zijiao's face, "——before you came."

Ni Zijiao leaned over with a smile: "Do you suspect that I am a shady?"

Lin Pei looked at the smiling young man and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Skinny enough.

Whether Ni Zijiao is shady or not, to Lin Pei, it doesn't matter.

Anyway...

In any case, the boy's ending had already been written by him.

"No, I'm sorry to disturb you two." A voice came in cautiously, "Hello—"

Lin Pei glanced over.

It was the thief he found last night.

As soon as Lin Pei turned his head, Luke was so frightened by his face and terrifying aura that he almost fell to the ground.

Luke quickly raised his hands, and his whole smiling face was full of flattery and fear: "Mr. Xian, I am Luke from the Principality of Rose! I have no malicious intentions!"

Lin Pei still had a cold face.He stared at Luke, reaching for the hilt of his sword at his waist.

Luke was always busy with the mercenaries, but unexpectedly, Lin Pei wanted to strike without saying a word. In desperation, he saw Ni Zijiao who was sitting next to Lin Pei, and immediately opened his mouth exaggeratedly. , and changed the subject in amazement: "Ah, your Excellency next to you, you look even better than Prince Violet!"

He looked at Lin Pei and seemed to like the boy's appearance very much.He remembered that, according to some bullshit theory in some book, people would feel a little better when they talked about their favorite things, right?

Anyway, he believed it!

Ni Zijiao had never seen this skinny man before, so he didn't have a deep impression on him, but as soon as this man appeared, his players released an aura of not getting close to strangers, and they were also aroused, and looked at the man in front of them.

"have you seen?"

Luke observed Lin Pei from the corner of his eye, and seeing that he hadn't moved, he took a deep breath and went on talking.

"I was doing business in the middle of the country for a while, and I was captured by a witch and taken to an old castle as a hard labor. I was also the Prince Violet I met at that time. He is indeed a beautiful man, but the witch doesn't like him very much. You know, women always I am jealous of creatures that are more beautiful than myself, so I feed him big fish and meat every day, and fatten Prince Violet like a pig, so I have to kill him now to make medicine."

The thief told a lie full of flaws, and laughed out of cold sweat, trying to amuse the two green-faced young men with his wit.

But apart from talking to each other, both Lin Pei and Ni Zijiao have a lot of laughs, even—one of the old fritters is used to seeing all kinds of jokes and is not pleased by him at all, while the other is thinking about when and where to wipe it off. his neck.

The two of them just stared at him quietly and mockingly, as if watching a clumsy clown.

Luke stopped laughing, a little embarrassed.More is panic.

He wiped the sweat from his brow, his back was numb.

A minute ago, he was still thinking about how to lure the young flower guardian away, and then Ni Zijiao wrapped a sack and sold it to the nearby gentry and nobles.

Mr. Thief lied a lot, but he was right in one sentence.

He has never seen a young man with such a sign, and he only thinks that Prince Violet who was blown into the sky is just like this.If the boy can fall into his hands, he can definitely sell for a good price.

But who will tell him why the flower protector who killed a thousand swords happened to be that evil ghost last night?
